Smackdown is a shell of what it used to be. Combination of the roster & creative staff. It was great when it started, but my favorite timeframe was '02-'04. Paul Heyman was creative director and his roster included: Angle, Big Show, Hogan, Piper, Edge, Los Guerreros, Benjamin & Haas, Rhyno, the cruiserweights, Christian. The matches and angles were must-see.

Yeah Ryback is incredibly limited. I hope they keep the title on Punk until at least Wrestlemania. Hope they don't have the Rock win it at the Rumble as his appearances are so limited and sporadic. Really hope we see something with Punk and Lesnar at some point in the future. If I could pick who should upend Punk, I'd probably go with one of The Shield - probably Dean Ambrose. Although you know it would make sense for Ziggler to target Punk now he's aligned with A.J. given their history. Also wouldn't mind seeing Kane and Daniel Bryan getting back in the title picture.
